Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We evaluated the effects of daikenchuto(DKT) on dextran sulfate sodium- (DSS-) induced ulcerative colitis(UC) mouse model. the colon lengths of DKT group were longer than those of the DSS group. the DKT group maintained significantly higher levels of serum hemoglobin. The DKT group exhibited significantly longer survival time than the DSS group. Our results indicate that DKT prevented inflammation in the colon, indicating its potential as a new therapeutic agent for UC.
